At last, we have come to the last part of the Middle Prong Trail. Yes, that’s right. There’s another major waterfall at the very end of the trail. The Indian Flats Falls are found in a secluded little enclave surrounded by trees. When I went, my family and I were the only hikers there for hours. We sat on some rocks between the two tiers of the waterfalls and enjoyed a yummy and well-deserved lunch while watching the water rush down. It was extremely peaceful and well worth the strenuous hike!

Still following along the Middle Prong Trail, there are even more things to see. The falls pictured in this post are also the Lynn Camp Falls, but are now seen from a different point of view. These roaring falls are multi-tiered and provide a great resting place for hikers where they can enjoy the view and a quick snack. You might think this is the final destination of the Middle Prong Trail, but there is still more to come. More cascades, waterfalls, and wildlife!

Hey everyone! This is the first post in my short series about Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I have been to over 15 national parks and monuments in the US so far in my life, and every one is different than the next. It is amazing to see what comes with each new national park I visit. The pictures in this post are from the Middle Prong Trail, which consists of numerous waterfalls, cascades, and cataracts. It’s an 8.3 mile long roundtrip and has a lot of elevation gain, so it is one of the more difficult hikes in the park. The falls pictured are the Lower Lynn Camp Falls, which are relatively small but fast-moving and beautiful nonetheless. Stay tuned for more posts about my time in the Smokies!

If you ever get a chance to visit Glacier National Park, I highly recommend going to Whitefish Mountain Resort. They have a scenic chair lift going to the top of the mountain, a long alpine slide, an aerial adventure park (basically a ziplining obstacle course), and a bunch of other fun activities. And on the way to Whitefish Mountain, an ideal highway to take is Going-to-the-Sun Road! It’s a great scenic road that goes through the mountains and lakes.

Something fascinating about Glacier National Park is the variety of colors you see everywhere. There are hundreds of colors in the mountains, in the water, in the trees, and in the sky. The park has such an extremely inviting appearance to it that just makes you want to see more!

Logan Pass in Glacier National Park is a beautiful place with sweeping views! You can see huge glaciers, but you can also see lots of greenery and alpine flowers. A hike through the pass will take you straight through the center of the mountains.

McDonald Creek in Glacier National Park is a winding and scenic waterway that leads all the way to Lake McDonald. The crystal clear water and grand mountains in the background make for a relaxing, enjoyable hike and great pictures.

White Pocket is like one of those places that only exists in your dreams or in a television show. It’s almost too perfect to be true. The rocks have an alien-like quality to them, with their twists and waves of colors…and the atmosphere is so tranquil and undisturbed that it feels like you are on another planet.
